Buying illegal stuff on the Internet

You might have heard that we are using non-disposable, enviromentally-friendly cotton diapers. These nappies have many advantages compared to the disposable variants like Huggies, Pampers etc..

First of all, you can use them as many times as you want, thereby decreasing the waste mountain. Furthermore, if they ever get totally worn out, you can still use them as a good old-fashioned cleaning rug.

Secondly, they are of course much cheaper. Yes, you need to buy them at a higher price compared to a disposable one, but since you can use them over and over, the price per use is a fraction of a Pampers.

But strangely, this is where the problem of illegality creeps in. It seems that in many countries (for example Japan, but apparently also in France) used diapers are deemed "sexually tantelizing items", and are illegal on eBay and labelled "used underwear".

Luckily people in Finland aren't as narrow-minded as some other nationalities, so we received some good diapers from the wonderful land of 1000 lakes.
